Swoosh!
As soon as Ye Tian spoke, a golden token appeared in the void, radiating with blinding brilliance, which covered the whole mountain range.
Then the whole mountain range, along with the shabby wooden house, started to tremble.
[Ding! Binding the Sect Main Hall—Successful!]
[Ding! Binding the Silver Mist Range—Successful!]
Two successive prompts rang out as threads of golden light coursed through high peaks before merging into void.
The mountain range, which was barren and devoid of life, suddenly became mysterious. Then slowly yet surely the density of spiritual qi started to increase.
Ye Tian, who was at the center of the commotion, did not notice this because he was worried the golden light might have attracted the attention of cultivators near the mountain range.
However, his worries were useless because only he can see the golden light.
BOOM!
Suddenly the whole mountain range shook fiercely and wide cracks appeared at every path leading to the Silver Mist Range.
One of the cracks even appeared on the highest peak and before Ye Tian could react, a massive stone tablet rose from below.
[Ding! Sect Establishment Progress: 99%]
[Warning: Sect name not detected.]
[Please declare the desired sect name within one minute and finalize the sect establishment. Failure will result in reward forfeiture.]
This cold voice instantly pulled Ye Tian out from his worry and he could not help but curse the system.
He knew he had to establish a sect so he had decided on the sect name even before coming here. If not for this, he might have to use some cat or dog name.
After cursing the system, Ye Tian did not hesitate and wrote the desired name on the holographic screen.
[Ding! Sect Name Detected—Eternal Heaven Sect]
[Commencing finalization process—99%... 100%]
[Ding! Sect Establishment—Successful!]
The golden token burst into a radiant light as it transformed into golden threads, which merged into the stone tablets spread across the mountain range.
Instantly after that the words 'Eternal Heaven Sect' carved themselves upon the tablets shimmering with brilliance.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for establishing a sect and completing the mission.
[Ding! System functions are now unlocked.]
[Ding! The host has received the sect establishment gift pack * 1.]
Three consecutive system prompts rang out and immediately after that, a holographic panel appeared before Ye Tian's eyes.
…

A summary of his current condition was displayed. After that, a flood of information about the system poured into his mind, making him understand how to use the system.
The system's main function was to help him to establish and develop his sect. By doing so, he could raise his cultivation and enjoy endless resources, treasures, and prestige.
Sounds good, right?
But there was a problem, and that was his cultivation, resources, and treasures were linked to the sect.
Still doesn't look like a big issue, right? As long as he makes his sect stronger, he will also grow stronger.
However, this was easier said than done.
Because the world he was in did not have many cultivation resources, and because of this, the number of people who possessed spiritual roots became lower. The quality of spiritual root also dropped.
This meant they can't reach a higher realm without excessive resources. As for mass recruiting, the system did not prevent doing that; however, there was a fixed amount of disciples and elders at every sect level, which can earn him system points and help him increase his cultivation.
Although the amount would only increase as the sect grew, mass recruiting of cannon fodder would only make him the king of cannon fodder.
If he really wanted to become a powerful person, he would have to recruit genius disciples, who are fought over by powerful sects, or maybe even poach them.
"Damn it! Can't this be a sign-in system or some lazy system? Why is there so much I have to do?" Ye Tian cursed unhappily and turned his attention to the system shop, the most useful and powerful function.
The system shop was divided into three parts: Sect Infrastructures, Worldly Items, and Special Items.
The sect infrastructure provided him with sect tokens, Qi-gathering arrays, alchemy hall, spirit garden blueprint, wooden huts, and such.
Everything that was necessary for the sect was listed here; however, most of the items, like the alchemy hall and spirit garden, were locked.
To make them available, Ye Tian had to raise the sect level, which he can't do yet so he did not think about it and moved the worldly items shop, which was quite useful and powerful.
This worldly items shop had everything that should exist in this world except for living things. Which meant there were spiritual stones, pills, weapons, cultivation techniques, and even rare treasures.
And the most surprising thing was that every item was available for purchase no matter its grade.
The only problem was system points, which Ye Tian had none of, and to earn them, he had to recruit genius disciples because the higher the realm of disciples, the higher the system points he would receive daily.
But was recruiting a genius disciple easy?
He could only curse the system and after scrolling through the worldly item shop, he moved to the third section, special items.
However, he was disappointed, as the special item shop would only unlock after he recruited a disciple.
Ye Tian did not hesitate and raised a middle finger.
After that, he checked his inventory for the sect establishment gift pack and hoped it could provide him with some cultivation resources and life-saving items. It would be even better if there were some legendary escape talisman.
Anyway, now that he had established the sect, he could cultivate first in hiding without worrying about risking his life.
However, just as he thought of this, the system's voice rang out.
[Ding! Mission Issued]
[Recruit a disciple with a high-grade spiritual root within a week.]
[Reward: 10,000 system points and a special physique]
[Failure Penalty: None]
Ye Tian: You want me to risk my life, right?
